Penn R. Pfiffner sent the following about the wolf in sheeps clothing known as Colorado Amendment 59.
Amendment 59 is not really about Education funding. It’s an attack on TABOR. But many of your contacts don’t yet know it. Please alert them that Amendment 59 is likely to be the biggest tax increase in Colorado history. Organizations that want more taxes are outspending taxpayer advocates by 200-to-1.
The only hope is getting the word out through you.
Please let your friends, family and colleagues know that you oppose Amendment 59 and ask them to vote against it. The reasons are simple:
– citizens should not throw away the controls that they put on government,
– citizens should make politicians come to them with specific proposals, not just give politicians a blank check,
– citizens need the $600 to $800 per family in TABOR refunds returned each year when there were surplus tax collections,
– Amendment 59 is not designed to save money for a real rainy day fund, nor will it solve a constitutional knot.
For a more complete explanation, see the attached single sheet of facts.
Thank you for helping defeat this monstrosity.
